Step 1 :The scientific notation for a number is expressed as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. In this case, the number is 0.00000008.
Step 2 :To express this in scientific notation, we need to determine the power of 10 that will shift the decimal point to the right of the first non-zero digit.
Step 3 :The power of 10 is -8 and the coefficient is 8.0.
Step 4 :Therefore, the scientific notation of 0.00000008 is \(8.0 \times 10^{-8}\).
Step 5 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{8.0 \times 10^{-8}}\)
